On this podcast Bruce Prichard discussed Undertaker being at WrestleMania and if he should beat John Cena: "Yes, yes I do. I always would joke with Undertaker... as long as he could get on a walker and make his way down to the ring, then he will be wrestling at WrestleMania. And he looks better and feels better than he has in 10 years. You look at the roster and you look at different people. Braun Strowman it won't be, that would've been a nice little face-to-face thing. But maybe John Cena. (Who should win?) 'Taker. I always say 'Taker should win, that's my answer. 'Taker's in a match, who should win? 'Taker!"

At this point WWE considers Mark Henry "retired without any fanfare." His last in-ring appearance was the Andre the Giant Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33. (WO)

I'm not saying that anybody has to be a fan of any certain kind of wrestling, intergender included but I am saying to write it off as unrealistic or say it shouldn't be included promotes inequality by insinuating women can't even pretend to be equals in a make believe world. - Joey Ryan (@JoeyRyanOnline) January 12, 2018

In this interview AJ Styles says he doesn't get the "if it wasn't in WWE it didn't happen" mentality: "Well, the thing is, is when you're stuck in a bubble, you're stuck in a bubble. You don't really notice too much going outside of it. There's so much going in the WWE. A guy came up to me and says, "Man, I have no idea what you've done outside of here." I totally understand because when I was in Japan I was in that bubble. When I was somewhere else I was in that bubble and it's hard to focus on someone else or what's going on somewhere else because you're so consumed with what's going on around you. I would get that."
